Me be an Embedded Software Engineer - mainly stuff like DVD recorders, Digital TV receivers and stuff like that. Cool enough when I don't have to do documentation. Or testing. Love solving hard bugs that no-one else can. Hey maybe thats why I like CPs - cos they kill bugs too! LOL :(

I'm a Facilitator in a government primary school. My job is to adapt the curriculum according to the needs of children with disabilities. Right now I'm supporting a child with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties. He is almost 9 years old in a wheelchair and he can hardly use his limbs and he can only say about a dozen words because of his CP (cerebral palsy) but he is a cute and bright kid :) I wouldnt change my job for anything!!:):)

Yes, and your work is very valuable. And if your Uncle's will ever takes effect, several of us will gladly join Fernando and comb South America for new species of CPs. In the mean time, enjoy your plants, your girl and the fact that you have rain where as I haven't seen any water other than that which our local mostly empty dam grudgingly gives me when I turn on the faucet.

I'm a Veterinary Surgeon - chiefly cats and dogs though I used to work a lot with the large parrots (Amazons, Macaws and the like). Just moved to a spanking new practice in Newark with 15 or so large window sills, and we all know what that means....

I have worked for the telephone company for 25 years. I have been a linesman, splicer, repairman, and installer throughout my career and specialize in telecommunications. Fun job, and you meet the neatest people.

Hi All,

I'm a Graphic Designer for my sins!! I have a degree in Grahic Design and have been out of Uni designing anything from logos, brochures to websites and multimedia cd's for the past 11 years.

I also run a company supplying high quality Marine Aquarium equipment and I also import the highest quality aquacultured clams for the marine aquarium industry (but I would say that!). Reef tanks are my other hobby, but you probably guessed that!

:-)

I'm doing data entry type admin work for Npower (very boring) but I am about to start a part time master's degree in law, so I'll only have do do the admin work 3-4 days per week soon. I'm hoping to eventually become a law lecturer. By the way, Loakesy, surely your foresnic skills could be better used catching those b******s who steal rare CPs from the wild!

I'm a psychiatric nurse specialising in dementia care. Been doing this for 5 years now and even though I love working with my patients, I am beginning to feel burnout from lack of funding and support. I'm currently thinking about changing careers, but other than nursing, I'm not exactly qualified for much! May go and join the police... they get paid about 7K more than me starting off.

I am police officer. You must not be in Nebraska. The nurses receive much higher pay, but at least we get to let loose sometimes.

I don't often tell people this, but I'm a Fingerprint Expert and Crime Scene Examiner. :shock:

I'm currently working in the Fingerprint Bureau in New Scotland Yard...:stabbing:

I'm currently going through a change of job at the moment. For the next three weeks I'm running a training course at Hendon Police training centre, then I get back to scene examination, working with the 'Flying Squad'!! Sounds really cool!! 8)
